Summary

Hide ▲

Edera told developers using tokio-tar to upgrade to a patched version or immediately remove the dependency because CVE-2025-62518 leaves projects exposed to archive-entry injection and remote code execution. The guidance targets systems still relying on the abandoned Rust library and its forks. Edera also recommends moving to the maintained astral-tokio-tar fork.
